The Trust Wallet DApp Browser is a Web3 browser of Trust Wallet – a popular non-custodial wallet for storing cryptocurrency and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The browser allows users to seamlessly interact with all decentralized applications (DApp) on different networks.
In this article, we will show you how to activate the Trust Wallet DApp Browser very easily – just follow the steps below. But first, we need to understand some basic concepts.
What is a DApp browser?
Decentralized Application (DApp) browsers (aka Web3 browsers), as the name suggests, are essentially a bridge for users who want to interact with different DApps – like Uniswap and PancakeSwap – on their devices. A popular Web3 browser is Trust DApp Browser
DApp browsers are available for Android and iOS devices, but due to Apple’s App Store policies, accessing DApps from your phone can be difficult, especially for iPhone users.
Now that we understand these basic concepts, let’s look at how you can activate the Trust DApp Browser on your mobile device.
How to enable Trust Wallet DApp Browser on Android devices
Assuming you’ve already downloaded Trust Wallet to your phone and already connected to your addresses or created new addresses, all you have to do is tap on the Trust Wallet icon to open the app. How to proceed:
- Once the app loads, go to settingslocated in the bottom navigation bar.
- Click on settings and then enable the DApp browser option by tapping the “Enable” button.
- After activation, you will see the DApp browser in the Trust Wallet dashboard.
It’s that simple. Unfortunately, that simplicity doesn’t apply to iOS users, but there are a few ways to turn things around.
How to enable Trust Wallet DApp browser on iPhone devices
As mentioned, due to App Store policies, Trust Wallet was forced to remove the DApp browser. First you need to use a browser – it can be Chrome or Safari, whichever you prefer.
- Once the browser is open, go to the URL bar and type:
trust://browser_enable
- A pop-up will appear saying “Open this site in Trust?” Click Open.
- This will redirect you to the Trust Wallet app and activate the DApp browser.
However, if that doesn’t work, try updating your Trust Wallet app.
Enabling Trust Wallet DApp Browser with WalletConnect
WalletConnect is an open-source protocol that connects DApps to mobile wallets via deep links or QR code. You can try going to Trust Wallet settings and you will find WalletConnect option. From there, click on New Connection and scan the QR code of the DApp. Once done, you should officially be connected to the DApp.
Final Thoughts
There are a few ways you can use the Trust Wallet DApp Browser. While it’s easier on Android, it’s not impossible to add the same functionality to your iOS version of the app.
Trust Wallet is not the only Web3 browser dominating the market. Other popular options are 1 inch wallet, BitKeep, and MyEtherWallet.
FAQ
I get the message “Deep Link not supported” – what should I do?
If you get this message while trying to activate the browser with the URL, you are most likely using an older version of Trust Wallet. Update the app and try again.
Why is it harder to activate Trust Browser on iOS?
Trust Wallet removed the DApp browser option from its iOS version of the app due to a conflict with Apple’s App Store policies. The only way to enable the browser option in the app is to use Safari and enter the URL mentioned earlier. This only works for iOS – Android users just need to go to the settings and enable the DApp browser option.
Is Trust Wallet safe?
Trust Wallet is an overall secure cryptocurrency app and wallet. It implements a wide range of security methods and allows users to enable 2FA, face recognition, password and more. It’s also not custodial free, meaning your crypto’s private keys belong to you and not the app.
What is a decentralized exchange?
A decentralized exchange (DEX) is a type of DeFi (decentralized finance) platform that allows users to buy, sell, trade, exchange, stake, and farm cryptocurrencies, among many other options.
They are a popular alternative to centralized exchanges (CEX) as they use a different fee model; CEXs use order books and DEXs use Automated Market Makers (AMMs).
DEXs also offer users a wide choice of liquidity pools – which are essentially smart contracts in which users deposit a pair of tokens in hopes of maximizing returns.
